So it might be creeping toward the end of May but it’s hardly tropical out there. Sometimes it’s hard to believe we’re actually out of Winter as the weather teases us with one or two warm days followed by a week worth of chilly winds and rain. Determined to finally ditch the heavy weight coats I’ve been on a mission for something a little lighter that can easily be layered and as ever, New Look came up trumps!

I found this black collarless coat looking lonely in my local New Look store, along with the coral version I have linked to above. Between us my Mum and I purchased both (who could resist at £12 each?) and I’m pretty confident that they meet all of my requirements. For this outfit I paired the coat with a tile print dress I picked up this time last year, one of those pieces that lies neglected in my wardrobe for long lengths of time until I suddenly become re-obsessed with it. It’d would have been nice to wear something other thank ankle boots and tights with it, but the weather was really not being kind when these photos were taken- you can’t see it but there was a very strong wind that saw me lose my balance more than once!

I’ve still got fingers crossed for some sunshine and decent temperatures tomorrow for Ellie’s wedding, but either way it’s going to be a beautiful day- I must remember waterproof mascara!
